The pop diva dialogue in 2012 began with buzz for Lana Del Rey, then shifted to being all about Madonna’s triumphant comeback before ultimately hitting a tragic note following Whitney Houston’s death. But Lana is still out there, plugging away at the promo for her debut LP Born To Die, which entered Billboard’s Top 200 at #2 last week. Head below to catch her performance of “Video Games” on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.
Whether Del Rey’s performance was good one or a bad one is a moot point at this stage. We’re guessing detractors and fans will never see eye to eye. But we will give the singer props for the backup string section here.
